JOB:- 4 year PhD Studentship: Applying High Performance Computing and Big Data analytics to the Cancer Genome
The RNA Biology Group is interested in how the regulatory systems that control gene expression are altered in tumours. We are using computational approaches to study changes in the patterns of gene expression between different cancer samples, and to link these to changes in their DNA. The project will focus on the role played by noncoding RNAs, a newly discovered set of genes that often regulate other processes within our cells.
This studentship, which is open to exceptional candidates from a computational background, will use techniques from machine learning to develop new models of lung cancer gene expression. The successful applicant will have access to a large High Performance Computing (HPC) facility on site, and will join a highly interdisciplinary research programme that integrates computer science and machine learning, with basic- and clinical-science.
No prior knowledge of cancer biology is required; applicants from artificial intelligence, mathematics, physics or other numerical disciplines are particularly encouraged to apply.
